I've never smoked and I've only done edibles once. And it was by and large the worst experience of my life. I literally walked to a corner in the kitchen sat down and asked people to not let me get up because I was having thoughts of throwing myself out of the window.

So I just sat there with my senses completely messed up. Hallucinating ( I don't think you are supposed to right? ) and completely trapped in a trip I did not want to be in and wondering if I died and gone to hell and that's how my brain was coping with dying.

So yeah. Not a good time.

I'm wondering what everyone else's experience is.

And is it luck that causes you to have a good or bad trip? Is it something we can influence ?

Just cannabis? I've never had a psychedelic response, though large or strong hits can knock you on your ass for a few minutes. If you were hallucinating, then your tolerance is probably low (or, the edibles could be more potent than normal). I have friends that eat 1/4 to 1/2 a 5g gummy and that's good for them. My tolerance is high enough that I can eat 4-5 whole and not bat an eye. Some people also have built-in tolerances (or lack thereof), so it's best to start small and work your way up to a comfortable level.

Personally, I don't bother with edibles because they can be unpredictable and dwell in your system longer than you may want them to. If you do, get the fast-acting ones that kick in 15-30 minutes (made with live rosin), so you can gauge their effectiveness before taking more. They're good for plane flights and other public venues where you can't vape or smoke.
